Psalms of the Brethren XLI: Sirivaddha
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
The lightnings flash e’en in the rocky cave,
Smiting Vebhara’s crest and Pandava,
And, in the mountain-bosom hid, a child
Of that incomparable Master sits
Ardent in contemplative ecstasy.
